  • A-Rod, Madonna Share Turkey
    By: Emily Christianson November 26, 2008 5:49am EST
    Could Madonna and A-Rod be stepping out as a couple? Well, more like stepping in. Rumor has it the pair plans to spend Thanksgiving together at Alex Rodriguez’s place in New York.
  • Beverly Hills Chihuahua Review
    By: Pete Hammond October 06, 2008 4:00pm EST
    Take Lady and the Tramp, crossbreed it with Babe and a Taco Bell commercial, and you’ll get the latest Disney talking-dog movie, an odd mix that kids are gonna love--even if it’s not best in show.
  • Prom Night Review
    By: Mark Burger April 11, 2008 5:03am EST
    This remake of the 1980 slasher film is at least a different story than its predecessor, but it’s not very good one.

    The Chronicles of Riddick is a dazzling sci-fi epic that will have Pitch Black devotees marking their calendars for the third installment. But director David Twohy's sequel is unlikely to strike a chord with those unfamiliar with Riddick's world
  • Van Helsing Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 11, 2004 12:47pm EST
    For the love of all that's unholy, drive a wooden stake, shoot a silver bullet, do whatever it takes to put Van Helsing out of its misery.
  • The Country Bears Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 26, 2002 1:45pm EST
    Even for singing bears, good old-fashioned rock and roll and family entertainment, The Country Bears still ranks pretty low on the scale.
  • Queen of the Damned Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 22, 2002 9:01am EST
    With a killer performance by its leading vampire and a last appearance by the late Aaliyah, Queen of the Damned should appeal to the music video generation and rake in some healthy box office numbers.
